【句子】We’ve had a few of these meetings, and they’re very nerve-racking. 【ModernFamilyS3E12】

【发音技巧】had a连读；few of连读；and they’re不完全爆破；

【翻译】我们曾经有过一些这样的见面，让人十分伤脑筋。

今天要学习的表达是：nerve-racking，也可以写成是nerve-wracking，发音一样；

rack或者wrack本身就有“破坏、损坏”的意思；

所以这个复合形容词的意思是：making you very nervous or worried;

或者看这个解释：

It is used to describe something that is difficult to do and that causes a lot of worry for the person involved in it.

所以它可以理解成：“伤脑筋的；费脑筋的；伤神的，费神的”；

eg: My wedding was the most nerve-racking thing I've ever experienced.

我的婚礼是我见过的最伤脑筋的事情。

eg: I had to go out and find a new job, which is always a nerve-racking experience.
